    Default Got to get all the woodwork clubs involved again

    As per the Sydney Show, positive vibes all round, BUT Candice please, you have got to get all the woodwork clubs involved again.
    They need to be give space a low prices along with member discounted ticketing; this is were the folk who spend money on timber and woodworking tools reside.
    As long as the vendors know the clubs are coming, they will have people there to buy there wares; one always finds something new or something at the right price to spend ones pocket money.
    Well done Melbourne!!
    Cheers crowie

    PS Thank you for the photos ladies and gents

It will be held at the showgrounds as it will need a bigger venue than Seaworks.

    I was told by an exhibitor on Saturday that the show would be at the Showgrounds for the next three years.
    I did not post that on here in case I had been told inadvertently before it was to be public knowledge.

    That was what I was referring to in my earlier post quoted below, but that was told to me in confidence at the time

    Does that mean we will need to use the mini bus to get to and from our cars?
    Seriously, I understand the need for a bigger venue to accommodate more vendors, at least I got to enjoy at least one year when I didn’t need to travel

    After moving to Melbourne I got to attend the last three shows at the showgrounds before they went stupid(er). I always got a park just a short distance from the show without the help of a bus, mini or maxi. Back then I did not have my Disability Parking Permit yet even though my back was bad enough to qualify for one.

    I enjoyed the venue at Seaworks for its proximity to home for me too, It's on the right side of the bridge. I attended on the Friday and with all the workers' cars in the street that day and the time restrictions on parking on weekdays parking would have been a major issue for me if I had not contacted Seaworks and been allowed to park offstreet. Another plus was that the food was very edible and reasonably priced. With the anticipated increase in size next year Seaworks will not be a viable option anyway.

    I hope she also moves it to a different date so it does not clash anymore with the Down Under Turn Around weekend at Philip Island. Disenfranchising the turning community for 3 years have not helped the show here in Melbourne.

    I understand the dates of the show for each state will shift (if necessary) to avoid clashes like that you mention.
